PNC is at the top of my list (maybe tied with Petco) for Ballparks I want to visit.
Said no one ever about Three Rivers/Riverfront/Veterans/(old)Busch/Shea stadium. I think they put up a factory somewhere in the midwest and cranked those puppies out one after the other... Those were such crappy "multifunctional" cookie-cutters that even actual cookies wound up being offended by them.

Yup. From what I could gather.

No buzzers
Used it the playoffs
Some guys were so good even when we had signed we couldn't do anything
All the top teams were using a system
Astros were the best at picking up and stealing signs outside of the camera system.

The only people who refuse to admit Yu was tipping are Dodgers players and crazy Dodgers fans. The rest of the free world knew what he was thowing every single time and the blame is 100% on him and their staff for not changing him up.

I really wish Gattis would STFU and do something productive with his time.

I don't really think that what a player from the 2017 Astros says is going to affect anyone's thinking on the cheating. What's the harm in him being candid?

Headed to San Antonio for training all week and need some help - best place to catch the Astros game at? Going to be just northwest of downtown.


Mitchell's is kind of a dive bar, but guaranteed to have the game on multiple TVs. Lost Bar is a little further NW, but good pub grub.

Of those listed, I have only been to Shea. That was sucked. This was 2006 (I think) so we had left the dome behind in Houston, but Shea reminded me of the Dome if you took a can opener to the roof and shrunk the concourse. Add in the hundreds of chop shops around the stadium and it was peak ****tiness.

I agree that there's probably no harm being done. At the same time, there is certainly no good being done there.

I mean it literally: He's still a young man with a lot to offer the world and I wish he had something better to do with his time than engage random people on Twitter.

Especially about that topic.

Fenway and Wrigley would be my #1 and #2 if I hadn't been to them before. It's like a baseball time machine. All the history and old feels.

I liked Old Busch. Maybe it's was because the Cardinal fans pack the place ad pre-game is a nice party. But I thought it was a cool place and glad I got to go there.

I honestly wasn't super impressed with Coors.

It's not like it sucked... it just wasn't anything special to me.

It might be the fact that it's the only one I've been to outside of MMP.

Twitter certainly is not the best medium for it. All it does is give more ammo to the haters and those that refuse to ever respect anything the Astros do.

Also, he's self admittedly unstable and seems to have episodes where he just shoots himself in the foot.

Lived in Pittsbugh for a year and ended up really enjoying it. Having seasons, terrain, lots of outdoors activities and close enough to drive to a bunch of other cities made it a nice spot

It's been so long I don't even know what Gattis is talking about? Who got shut down by Yu? Who is CC that other person mentions? Kershaw?

I think part of the reason I loved Coors Field so much was the surrounding area. Microbrews/bars all around the stadium and a cool area of downtown. Plus, their outfield open plaza area is a great place to watch a game from.

Could've been facing Darvish during the regular season, and wasn't it CC Sabathia that we beat in game 7 of the ALCS?
